Chapter 1025 - Hurt His Pride.

Before Li Xue could comprehend any of his actions, her lips opened on their own in reciprocation to his kiss. It began with gentleness but before she could realize it, it became intense. Intense enough to make her crave for greater passion. 

As if Feng Shufen has read the thoughts of her mind, the next second his arms went to lift her from her waist before turning to bring her to his desk. 

Li Xue thought that in the spur of the moment, Feng Shufen might have forgotten the important files on his table. But her expression turned blank for the minutest second when felt nothing down her butt. 

Where did the files go? She clearly remember that when she entered, she saw many of them kept here, then … She turned to look down to check but right at the moment, Feng Shufen answered her doubts with all ease as if nothing was unnatural in his words. 

"I have cleared them all." He said before continuing from the point they have left. Li Xue was at loss again. So, from the very start, he was planning this. He wasn't really upset. He just wanted to … 

"Ahhh!" A light but stinging yelp left Li Xue's lips when she felt a sudden burning bite on her lower lip. Her eyes grew big as pushing Feng Shufen a little away, she quickly rubbed the affected area. 

Her brows tugged in a frown as her gaze turned like an accusation to the man. To which, Feng Shufen just smiled. This was the first time he did that to her, otherwise, whenever they kissed, no matter how intense the kiss got, Li Xue never felt the slightest pain from it. 

"Mr. Beelzebub, what were you planning?" 

"Your punishment." Feng Shufen simply replied as if it had been always on his mind. His hands went to cage her on the desk in between his arms. 

Li Xue's lips pouted. "For? Is it for the thing that I did in the park?" 

Feng Shufen shook his head. "For reminding you that after becoming Mrs. Feng you are no longer allowed to call yourself as my girlfriend. You are Mrs. Feng, my wife." He said and it was then Li Xue realize the terms she used to address herself earlier. 

"Ah, that … I didn't realize it." She admitted as her arms went to wrap around his neck that was down in front of her face. "But if you are punishing me for that, does that mean you have forgiven me for the offense I made earlier in the park." She asked as her eyes blinked with expectation at the man. 

Feng Shufen didn't answer her straightaway. Instead, he stared at her as if trying to read her eyes and expressions. Only after a quite long moment, he agreed to reply. But his reply as well came in a mysterious way that didn't clear up the query that Li Xue has asked before. 

"Do you think your interruptions could ever offend me?"

Li Xue's brows tugged together as her arms dropped down again to take the support and strength of the desk. She wanted to shake her head and deny but after giving the long thought to everything while taking the shower, apart from that one thing, nothing else seemed the reason to make him upset. 

"I don't know. If not for those interruptions, what other things about me made you upset. You were all okay till Ms. Zhang appeared and I made a talk with her after interrupting you. You might …" 

"And what were your interruptions for?" Interrupting her assumptions at once, Feng Shufen drew her attention to something that she was missing amidst everything. 

Li Xue pressed her lips together. Her bowed eyes instantly told away that she might have understood the reason that really hurt the man. 

When didn't see her telling, Feng Shufen downed his head to meet hers, waiting to hear her. And reluctantly, Li Xue has to reply.

"I-I just wanted to not cause any problems. I heard that your relatives like her very much. What if she went back to complain to them later. Next week, at the gathering it would make you lose face, and also wouldn't that day be the first time I would introduce myself. I just didn't want the things to go wrong." She said and in her heart, she knew she was wrong about that. But what was wrong, she was not too clear about it. 

She just didn't want to become a burden to Feng Shufen. Furthermore, she wanted to keep her stronger self hidden for the proper meeting with the girl. She didn't want to alert her enemy before the war actually begins. But in the midst of all that, she forgot to consider that her such plans can hurt Feng Shufen. 

Feng Shufen has already guessed that. Since she had already known Zhang Xiaotong, it was not hard for him to guess that she might as well know all the other things. This was not the part that hurt him, but the thing that hurt his pride was – 

"Do you only trust my capabilities this much?" He asked. Though there was a smile on his face, and Li Xue could feel that he was not upset with her anymore. She also knew that she has hurt him at some point and that was somehow piercing her heart as well. "Did you really feel that in my presence, I will ever let you suffer?" 

Li Xue shook her head. She never thought that. She knew that the man would do everything just for her sake. But here, she doesn't want to make him always do things for her. She wanted to let him feel protected the way she does when he is around her. 

Not able to take his doubts any longer, she pulled him to her before hugging him tightly. "That's enough, Mr. Beelzebub. Don't make me feel more guilty. I never thought it that way. I was wrong to not consider your feelings but believe me I never doubted all that you said. It was just I wanted to make you and others feel that even without good family background, I am capable to bring you the benefits." 

Feng Shufen knew but earlier, his pride didn't. But feeling the hints of sobs in her voice now, he could no longer keep his pride high. Enclosing his arms around her, he caressed her hair gently. "You are silly to think that way. My woman doesn't need to bring me the benefits. She just has to enjoy the feelings and happiness I bring to her." 

"I understand it now. From now on I will consider my thoughts and plans better before bringing them on. Forgive me this one time okay?" She said, her voice coming all heavy from suppressing her tears and sobs. 

No matter how sharp and strong she was, around Feng Shufen she couldn't control her weaker self from coming out.
